The problem is that the creators of the Linux distributions
keep their users uninformed.
They don't know that the command line features they see are features
from bash.
... and they don't know that Linux does not come with tar but with GNU tar.
It's not Solaris that created the ignorance of the Linux users that
cry for "Linux compatibility.
Solaris users and Sun however need to inform people.....
